Huntsville is no stranger to that growth. The Birmingham-based full-service bank now has eight loan officers, including Cindy LeBlanc, who was recently promoted to help lead mortgage lending for the Huntsville region.

LeBlanc, a 28-year banking veteran who joined ServisFirst Bank in October 2006, was serving as a mortgage loan officer before being named vice president of mortgage lending in the Rocket City. In her new role, she will solicit new mortgage business and identify, develop and maintain business relationships in the community.

Timothy Ejide, who has spent seven years in the banking industry, is also joining ServisFirst Bank as a mortgage loan processor.

ServisFirst Bank recently announced it has accumulated more than $3.76 billion in assets with no brokered deposits. The institution was founded in Birmingham in May 2005 and opened ServisFirst Bank Huntsville in August 2006. Divisions were later opened in Montgomery, Dothan, Mobile, Nashville and Pensacola, Fla.
